I'd love to expose my sons to other cultures and it might help me appreciate
living in my country of birth more if I got a fresh perspective.  Also, feel
too antsy to wait another 20 years to travel.  I also wonder where the
energy and money is going to come from at that point in my life.  We'll
see--and we aren't gone yet.  We're looking into passports now having just
received certified birth certificates on every family member which is a
requirement.  Did you know that it now costs $97 per passport application?
($67 for under age 14--so we can save $30 on my youngest son).
